Old Harbour Office, The Quay, Poole

An exceptional and rarely available ground floor commercial unit occupying a prominent position within the historic former harbour offices on Poole Quay.

The property is undergoing an extensive and high-quality refurbishment, sensitively combining modern finishes with retained period character. The accommodation now provides a striking open plan commercial space ideally suited to café, food and beverage or boutique retail use, subject to the necessary consents.

A standout feature of the property is the exposed original stone wall and feature fireplace, creating a unique trading environment rarely found within comparable commercial premises.

Specification includes new timber sash windows, recessed LED lighting, upgraded electrics and new internal joinery throughout.

In addition to the main trading area, the property benefits from ancillary accommodation with water supply and drainage, suitable for use as a prep kitchen or back-of-house area, together with provision for WC facilities.

Externally, there is potential for customer seating to the front of the property, subject to landlord and licensing approval, allowing occupiers to take full advantage of the vibrant quay-side setting and strong passing footfall.

Opportunities of this nature are seldom available within Poole and the property offers an exciting opportunity for an occupier seeking highly characterful waterfront premises.
